The Tampa Bay Rays have exercised their $10.25 million option on righthander James Shields, their $2.5 million option on closer Fernando Rodney and their $1.8 million option on catcher Jose Molina, the Tampa Bay Times reports.

However, they declined their $6 million option on DH Luke Scott.

Shields went 15-10 with a 3.52 ERA this season, striking out 223 batters in 227 2/3 innings. There is speculation that he will be used as trade bait this offseason.

Rodney revitalized his career in 2012, finishing with a record-low 0.60 ERA and 48 saves.

Molina hit just .223 with eight homers and 32 RBIs but was strong defensively.

Scott, limited to just 96 games because of injuries, hit .229 with 14 homers and 55 RBIs.
